Maybe I'm crazy

But, this 1 item, create an instance of Song with the initWithSinger initializer is really stumping me. The answer has to be easy, but here is my response

= [Song initWithSinger:@"James Brown"];

What am I missing?

when using an initializer you need to allocate the object first using the alloc method. here is an example using NSNumber:

NSNumber *number =  [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:2];

so your current answer is close, you just need to allocate it first.
